What To Expect
The Jordaan
The most common theory on the origin of the name is as a derivation of the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal came to be called this as well. Our Flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.
Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank house at Prinsengracht 263 is where the cruise departs.

5.00We loved this tour so much more personal and fun, than other tours along the canals. The guides were fun and well informed, and the bar upgrade is a must and thank you to the captain for setting me straight that the XXX of the Amsterdam flag is not the brand of some online material.

2.00A special experience. Unfortunately, it is mainly about the drink and making fun of the Dutch. Everything with a lot of humor so that made the trip fun. But for this money I would definitely not recommend the tour.
Just do it!
